Soul Tattoos, What Does Your Say?

Never had a tattoo, but if I had it would have to be something related to the music I love, so I am curious to know what others have had (but not where tongue.gif ) have you had song titles, artists names?

I have a fist with Northern Soul and it takes heart on me calf..

funny story..

when we was 17 (23 years ago)

my whole scooter club decided to have FISC (First Impression Sccoter Club) done on the inside of our bottom lip..

any way my mate Jason went in first told the tattoist what he wanted FISC -- sat there and had it done, while we all stared in the window and door maybe 15 or so of us.. next a bloke called Mick went in and said yeh the same for me.. so he started while we all started looking at Jasons slightly swollen lip that read FIFC.. so shouted stop to the tattoist he then put FISC on mick's lip and the rest of us said sod that and run out laughing so only 2 of them had it done in thne end.. and one was wrong... best thing is my brother law worked with Jason 15 years later just by chance and I told him about the tattoo so he bought it up when everyone was down the pub one night.. My mate Jason went mad he had never shown any one the tattoo from the day he had it done...

Not strictly on topic but on the subject of tattoos ...round our way in the 70's there was a bloke called Dill Dudding who fancied himself as a bit of a Hells Angel (never had a motorcycle or anything like that)

Anyway he had a tatoo of a Swastika on his face which ,because he'd done it himself in a mirror,was back to front and was in fact the Buddhist symbol for peace and prosperity.I don't suppose he was that bothered ...f*** the future eh Dill

THAT LOOKS GOOD BUT IF I WAS TO GET ONE LIKE IT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE MIDDLE OF A RECORD OR ONE LABEL WHICH WOULD`NT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT CAUSE I GOT SPUGGY ARMS :) WAS IT EXPENSIVE?? :unsure:post-200-1193939623_thumb.jpg

Remember several guys at Wigan having SKF tatooed on their wrists. It was the initials of the drug company Smith Kline French, now Beechams I think.

A Scotland fan got a tatoo in the far-east. He said he wanted Made in Scotland on the tattoo and the national emblem - a Thistle. The tattoo artist had no concept of what a Thistle looked like, and was told it was a plant with a jagged head, the guy ended up with 'Made in Scotland' on his arm - and a Pineapple.

I have the obligatory black fist & KTF.........had it sooooooo long looks like a lump of coal now :unsure: !.

Being a Navy Boy, where tattoo's where almost mandatory..........Ive seen some crackers.........for example the urban myth, of the guy who has 'HMS' written on his willy........but when he gets excited, shall we say, it reads 'HMS ILLUSTRIOUS'.

Has any one ever seen the traditional tattoo 'The Fox & Hounds' probably not a very trendy tattooo these day's, but its a complete back & sides of a hunt scene, horses, fences, huntsmen, scenery the whole kit & kaboosh..........with only the foxes tail visible coming out from ya ass...................!!!!!!!.

Also many years ago, some military guys would have 'f**k off' written on the outside of thier palm, so when ever they saluted an officer, instead of being a mark of respect, gave a whole new meaning !!!!!!!!.

Also what about the 'W's on each buttock, that when you bend over say's 'WOW' :rolleyes: .

Then theres always the urban myth of the guy who has "Ludo" tattooed on his d**k and when he gets excited it says "Welcome to Llandudno".

I have a crab on my arm (birth sign), two dolphins in a Yin Yang design on one calf and MFM in scrollish fancy writing on my other calf. MFM is my first initial, soon to be ex wifes initial and daughters initial.

Decided it will now be Mother Fooking Moron. :rolleyes:

Only one Tatto to my name from my Army days and a nice engraving from a friendly Penguin!

Anyhow... Another light hearted story...My Cousin went to Barbados years back before resort really took off and a few of them went missing for 3 days with the legend Oliver Reed who was staying in same hotel. (Quite a few tales from that) .

A few decided to have tat's done with Oli and My cousin likes Cricket and supports local County side Essex so a cricket ball and the letters were suffice.

But the tatooist, who must've been on the ole 'funny smokes', left one of the C ' s off the end and reads ' E.C.C. ' Abbreviation for Essex County Council. !! Wasn't till he got home he realised the fact.

He never changed it neither.
